Thrilled to announce the return of not one but two more series of our much-loved comedy Changing Ends! Baby Cow are incredibly proud to make this show with our brilliant cast and crew and wonderful team at ITV! https://lnkd.in/eVEFNGix After becoming the biggest new half hour comedy launch on any channel this year, the hugely popular Changing Ends has been recommissioned for a third and fourth series on ITVX & ITV1. Since the series 1 launch, Alan Carr’s semi autobiographical comedy has been streamed over 13 million times on ITVX and been nominated for various awards throughout 2024. The new 6 x 30 third and fourth series (12 episodes in total) will again be made by multi award winning Baby Cow Productions (Gavin & Stacey, Alan Partridge) and recorded back to back, transmission details TBC. Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980s growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager. The series is produced by Baby Cow Productions, written by Alan Carr, co-written by Gabby Best and was co-created by the late Simon Carlyle. The director is Dave Lambert and the producer is Mollie Freedman Berthoud. The Executive producers are Baby Cow’s Sarah Monteith and Rupert Majendie, Alan Carr and Danny Julian. Baby Cow is one of BBC Studios owned production labels. BBC Studios are handling the international distribution of both series. All episodes from series 1 & 2 are available to watch for free via ITVX. Alan Carr said “To get your own sitcom recommissioned for a series is the most wonderful news ever, but to have TWO series recommissioned is utterly mind-blowing and such a huge compliment which I do not take lightly. I know how much this show has resonated with the viewers and I promise I won’t let you down, and for someone whose actual life at times feels like a sitcom, believe me there are more tales from my childhood to be told. Two series commissioned eh? My dream of Changing Ends becoming Northampton's answer to The Crown becomes two steps closer to being a reality.” ITV’s Head of Comedy, Nana Hughes said “Changing Ends continues to grow into becoming one of our most popular comedies with audiences clearly loving the early adventures of little Alan Carr. The cast is simply superb and the heart warming storytelling has clearly struck a chord with our viewers.” Baby Cow’s CEO Sarah Monteith said "We’re delighted that ITV have trusted us with not one but two more series of our hit comedy Changing Ends. We’re having fun with Alan’s early-teens era, it’s getting emotional!”

Delighted to announce that Series 3 of "From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast" has won Best Comedy Podcast as the British Podcast Awards! https://lnkd.in/eFnrWZZh Huge thanks to the brilliant team at Audible, and all involved in the series!
